+What: namespace cgroup (ns_cgroup)
+When: 2.6.38
+Why: The ns_cgroup leads to some problems:
+ * cgroup creation is out-of-control
+ * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
+ * it is not possible to have a single process handling
+ a lot of namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
+ * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup
+
+ The ns_cgroup is replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
+ where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
+ The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
+ the 'tasks' file.
